The views of the test and control groups were taken in line with the questions prepared, themes and sub-themes were created and tabulated and then interpreted. The measurements obtained for both test and control groups within the study were collected independently and the equality of the variances regarding the measurements of both groups was analyzed through Levene F test. At the end of the research, a significant difference was found between the test group where cooperation based museum education was applied and the control group where teacher based education was used in favour of test group in terms of achievement and student views.
